These BIPOC-Owned Philly Vegan Restaurants are Fighting for Food Justice
"Two places, Pat’s King of Steaks and Geno’s Steaks often vie for the title of “best cheesesteak in town,” and their extremely close proximity to each other (they share opposing street corners) makes deciding the winner convenient for travelers just passing through. It’s a little far out of downtown, so it’s the perfect place to stop as you prepare to leave the city and head home."
"The quintessential debate in Philadelphia is which Philly cheessesteak is better: Pat's or Geno's?. The two are literally across the street from each other near the Italian Market area of Philadelphia. That makes your decision easy: go with someone else, order one from each, and compare."
"Meat eaters can't leave Philadelphia without trying a famous cheesesteak, so head to Passyunk Square to decide once and for all whether Pat's or Geno's is the best."

"This one isn't a restaurant, but an inexpensive and popular family-run pretzel stall in Philadelphia’s historic, bustling Reading Terminal Market. Join the line to salivate at a mouth-watering array of freshly baked Amish style soft pretzels and breakfast rolls-ups, oozing a variety of fillings. Check out their celebrated Philly cheesesteak roll-up."
"Bartram’s Garden is the oldest, still existent botanical garden in North America and is located along the banks of the Schuylkill River southwest of downtown Philadelphia. In addition to being a beautiful and historic garden, Bartram’s Garden also has amazing views of Philly’s skyline. While some industrial buildings mar the view a bit, this is a unique angle of the city that isn’t often seen."
"You can’t take food into the curated horticultural grounds or historic houses in this 46-acre complex, but there are several sites specially designated for lunchtime spreads."
"The 55-acre Awbury Arboretum in Germantown is home to the Henry Cope Garden, also known as the "secret garden." It dates back to the earliest days of Awbury, when it was just a small boxwood garden. Today, the secret garden is full of rare trees like "very tall, old persimmons" and Witchhazel. It’s also (as of 2017) home to Adventure Woods, a natural materials playground."
"Awbury Arboretum, roughly 55 acres in size, features a romantic, English ambiance. It has lush, green meadows, rolling hills, scenic ponds, picturesque woods, and many more beautiful aspects."
"It has been free and open to the public for nearly a 100 years. See the 55-acre grounds with beautifully manicured gardens once home to a Quaker family."
"Kelly Dr at Girard Ave, south of Girard Ave Bridge, 19130, map. Bring a friend or meet a new one at the whispering bench at the Ellen Phillips Samuel Memorial."
"Forget the Philly Cheesesteak and join the queue at DiNic’s. According to the America’s Travel Channel, DiNic’s serves the best sandwich in America and is run by the 4th generation of the Nicolosi family. Succulent mounds of juicy roast pork, deliciously sharp provolone and broccoli rabe is the must-try item here."
"From roast pork sandwiches at DiNic’s to deep-fried Pennsylvania Dutch treats at Beiler’s… it’s safe to say that there is something here to satisfy any craving. But if you can’t decide, here are my picks of the best things to eat at Reading Terminal Market."
"Fun fact: DiNic’s was the winner of the Travel Channel’s “Best Sandwich in America,” which obviously makes this taste a million times better."
"Bars Breweries Fishtown. Fishtown welcomed Evil Genius’s 185-seat brewpub earlier this year, offering a powerful lineup of craft beers in bold flavors like Purple Monkey Dishwasher, a choco-peanut butter porter; I Love Lamp, a German-inspired hefeweizen brewed with fresh pineapple; and This One Time at Band Camp, a strong double IPA. The operation includes a stable of 15 barrels, and a rotating selection of experimental varieties is available exclusively in the on-site tasting room, dubbed the Lab."
"Evil Genius Beer Company not only brews some of Philadelphia’s best beer, but they also have, without a doubt, the most creative names for their brews. Beer lovers can enjoy beers with fantastic pop culture references such as Bye Felicia IPA, Purple Monkey Dishwasher Porter, and I Love Lamp Hefeweizen. Their tasting room, dubbed The Lab, is located in Philly’s Fishtown neighborhood and features a laid back atmosphere and many great board games for visitors to enjoy."
"FishtownEvil Genius made it big with quirky beer names and a taproom filled with nostalgia, but even as COVID-19 makes visiting said taproom not quite possible, Evil Genius has been growing. With the launch of its hard seltzer line last year -- as well as the seasonal returns of favorites like Santa!"
"4 out of 5 stars Bars Breweries Suburban Square. Inspired by brewing styles from France, Belgium and the USA, Tired Hands focuses on small-batch brews. The company embraces the concept of staying local, sourcing raw ingredients and giving back to the community."
"It isn’t necessary to leave the city limits for good beer, but in the case of this cult label, it’s mandatory. Having made an international name for itself among aficionados, there is a steady stream of pilgrims picking up growlers to take back to their beer caves."
